Cisco Systems

“The knowledge we gained, the tools we got introduced too and the innovation framework of the Six I’s have helped us to innovate better not only on process, organization or deliverables but also around change management. The team has a common language and use new tools to break through their thinking. I can highly recommend the Six ‘I’s framework and the related workshops and trainings to enable this.”

Through a variety of training sessions, innovation workshops, virtual coaching calls and individual and team assessments, Entheo worked a variety of Cisco Teams to help develop innovation skills and apply them to current work challenges. This included workshops to generate ideas for improving customer service, building a stronger team brand, ideas for spotting and creating transformational opportunities and how to cut costs and increase margins. Central to our work with Cisco has been the use of The Six ‘I’s of Innovation®, Entheo’s proprietary innovation management Model, supported by individual and team assessments. This has given the team a common language for understanding and applying innovation in their everyday work. It also has helped to pinpoint the current skill profile and areas for personal and team growth.

Confronted with challenges of doubling sales and driving new growth across Asia, LEO Pharma, a leading Pharmaceutical company, embarked on an innovation journey to bring the outside in and transform its corporate culture into one that would empower people to spot new opportunities, ignite creative ideas and enable the business to become patient centric. We are working with senior management to create innovation teams that will generate new ideas for areas of strategic opportunity and build innovation skills and capabilities. Through a process of assessing innovation skills, from across eight Asian markets, designing and facilitating idea generation and pitching workshops, innovation training and on-going coaching and innovation consulting, Entheo is helping the organisation generate new ideas and develop them into patient centred propositions. Five of the core ideas became central pillars of the corporate strategy in the region delivering up an uplift of 15% sales growth.
